Closeouts. Chaco's Updraft 2 sport sandals are upgraded with a lighter weight, and feature anatomic footbeds with a water-ready design for foot-securing performance and wet-dry grip on almost any surface.

For Chaco's, a year is way too soon for a strap to break. Also, I found this particular model to be always very squeaky, and also slippery when walking on a wet surface! For everyday wear they are okay (except for the squeak) but for frequent hiking they are not sturdy enough. I like the original type chaco's and will be buying that type.

I bought these for sailing, and with the wide sole and toe loop they are great in all conditions.
Shortly after getting them I broke my leg and have been non-weight-bearing for two months. I wear these most days when I need to leave the house, for the same reasons - they are steady and stable when standing or hopping on one leg.

The first couple of days I could feel the outer edge of the insole, but I don't notice it at all anymore - I suspect the support helps with the stability of the sandal.

I already had a pair of Yampas with the double straps, so I decided to try the Updrafts with the wide single strap. I love them both, but I think the edge goes to the single strap Updrafts. I love the way they look and feel.

I wear a size 6 in street shoes, and a 7 in most running shoes, but had to get a 5 in the Chacos after returning a 6 because it was too big.
